You probably can figure out what each service each file belongs to, however, the numbers and the capital letter may be confusing. The numbers in the filenames indicate the order of which the commands are executed. The capital letter represents whether that service will be (S)tarted or (K)illed when switching to that runlevel, if they're not already in the state they'll be changed to. To make gdm not start on boot, you can either try purging it, or rename /etc/rc2.d/S99gdm to /etc/rc2.d/K99gdm -- .''`.
